Pesticide compositions and methods for their use

An aqueous pesticide composition for applying to a plant, the composition consisting of:

• (a) a phytotoxicity-inducing amount of about 0.01% to about 15% w/w of a phytotoxicity-inducing synthetic pesticide selected from a sodium aluminofluoride pesticide, a copper hydroxide pesticide, a chlorothalonil pesticide, and a propiconazole pesticide;
• and
• (b) a pesticide-induced phytotoxicity reducing component comprising:
• (i) about 0.1% to about 20% w/w of an assimilable carbon-skeleton energy component comprising corn syrup;
• (ii) about 0.0001% to about 0.5% w/w of a water soluble macronutrient component comprising N, K, Ca and Mg;
• (iii) about 0.00000001% to about 0.1% w/w of a water soluble micronutrient component comprising Zn, Fe and Mn;
• (iv) about 0.0000001% to about 0.1% w/w of a vitamin/cofactor component comprising three or more vitamin/cofactors selected from the group consisting of pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, thiamine, pyrophosphate, riboflavin, biotin, pantothenic acid, phosphatidylcholine, inositol, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), nicotinic acid and folic acid,
• (v) about 0.01% to about 30% w/w of a complexing agent component comprising one or more of citric acid and fulvic acid;
• and
• (vi) an organosilicone surfactant,
• wherein components (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) are present in amounts sufficient to reduce pesticide-induced phytotoxicity of the plant.
